Interesting to look through, despite the inaccuracies here and there (and I'm only in the D section so far). Bruise Brothers & Creative Control are the same guys. The "Demolition" listed as in the NWA is incorrect, that's still WWF...it was just during the brief time right at the beginning where an ex-Moondog was doing the Smash character.

And yeah, Kane was Unibomb. I remember some pretty funny Al Snow promos from around that time.

Seeing that pic of the great Ricky Steamboat and Paul Jones was worth the time it took to download all those images. Any old-school fan's heart must warm at remembering what true tag-team wrestling was all about.

Originally posted by britishilesI work fo a wrestling website entitled Oklafan.com and it is all about wrestling in Oklahoma. We are lacking a few team pictures and I was hoping to find them there but they weren't.

I noticed that Tajiri wasn't on this list at all. I also am finding out more about the "Flying Nuns"!

I found it interesting seeing some well-known current, and former, WWE guys in OVW tag-teams or tag-teams in other, less well-known feds. Shelton Benjamin in the Dog Pound, Tomko and Mordecai in the Disciples of Synn, and so on.

Hawk and Kensuke Sasaki in LOD gear? Whoa, that's fucked up.

I remember (and used to like) High Voltage, back in my younger, more impressionable days.

I wasn't watching SmackDown at the time, so aside from seeing a Cena match on WWE 24/7 Online, I didn't remember B2. Though of course I remember Bull Buchanan from his days with Big Boss Man and as a member of Right to Censor.

God, the Klondike Brothers and McGuire Twins were freakin' huge, and I don't mean that in a good way.

Batten Twins Brad & BartDear goodness! That is a freaking old picture. Those two still occationally wrestle out of Huntington WV. They both now have salt n' pepper hair. One of them apparently has an up and coming son.

The Cole Twins Keith & KentThat's back to 1992 and they were short lived. I really liked them back in the day when I had no clue they were to plain.

Doug Furnace & Phil LaPhon Biggest creative blunder of the 90's. Why? They didn't do nearly anything with them. An actualy freaking genuine tag team at the time and they got the shaft. Were slated to win titles but it never happened.

Evolution Nova & Frankie KazarianCreepy, yet cool.

Hellraisers Hawk & Kensuke SasakiI have a whole tape of Hellraiser matches from Japan. GREAT STUFF if you're a fan of the late Hawk and/or Kensuke Sasaki.

John Cena & B2One word...that was on Velocity right before they started bringing him up and everybody started catching on him being actually enteraining with actual rapping. Cena is so watered down it isn't funny. He's more street than "thug" now.

Jynx Brothers Matt Hardy & Jeff HardyUmm...just WOW.

Masters of Powerbomb Sid & Big Van VaderSo short lived...only because Sid when crazy with some sharp objects.

Ultimate Army Nathan Jones & John HeidenreichOh, oh, oh that's so not right. To of the worst big men that traveled through the E with in the last five years as a team. So wrong...ok my be not the worst but you get the picture.

Yeah, there are some corretions that need to be made but that was well worth a link. It was great to look through.

Those two were awesome as a team. Honestly, I thought they were better together than Hawk and Animal. Kensuke just became this badass killer who threw suplexes and Sasaki-lines around like Bill gates throws FUD and Hawk stepped up his game and made this team the Strong-Style equivalent of the Road Warriors. Go to Highspots, Goldenboy, ANYWHERE and get some footage of The Hellraisers, you won't regret it!

I wish I could respect the law. I can't. The law is a whore who demands payment up front, and then attempts to evade providing the service paid for.

Cena and Shelton were in some wacky teams in OVW -- IIRC, Cena's partner was Rico Costantino and they were apparently a really great act. Shelton was teamed with Brock Lesnar in the cleverly named Minnesota Stretching Crew.

Seriously, the exact moment I saw this photo, I the following lyrics started running through my head:

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely worldShe took the midnight train goin' anywhereJust a city boy, born and raised in south DetroitHe took the midnight train goin' anywhere

It was like some Pro-Wrestling Tag Team Rorschach Test.

The only glaring omission I noticed that nobody mentioned yet was no Tony Garea. When he and a very young Rick Martel won the straps, Pat Patterson and Vince McMahon on commentary went comically overboard selling Garea as the veteran who had held the tag straps with a then record 6 or 7 partners, and how much potential young Martel had.

What I liked about Garea was how well he could sell, and take a 10 minute beating before getting a hot tag to (insert partner here), who inevitably cleaned house. Same fun story every week, but always fun. Whenever a gray Garea occasionally makes TV appearances nowadays "helping to restore order" I can't help but fondly remember some of his earlier matches.

The other thing I had forgotten was how much much fun Benoit could be in tag matches. Usually as the guy who didn't talk much.
